| May 1, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Linde reported strong first-quarter 2026 results, with sales increasing 8% to $8,781 million and adjusted operating profit rising 8% to $2,630 million, achieving a 30.0% adjusted operating margin. Adjusted diluted earnings per share grew 10% to $4.33. Sales growth was primarily driven by a 5% positive currency impact, 2% from higher pricing, and 1% from volume increases due to new project start-ups, alongside 1% from acquisitions. These factors, coupled with productivity initiatives, more than offset cost inflation.
Segment performance was robust, with Americas sales up 10% and operating profit up 12%, fueled by electronics, manufacturing, and metals & mining end markets. APAC sales increased 11% and operating profit 6%, benefiting from volume growth in new projects and equipment sales. EMEA sales rose 7% and operating profit 9%, largely due to favorable currency translation despite a 3% volume decline. Engineering sales and operating profit decreased 8% and 11% respectively, attributed to project timing.
Cash provided by operations increased 4% to $2,240 million. Capital expenditures rose to $1,342 million, primarily for new plant and production equipment supporting a $7.1 billion sale of gas project backlog. The company repurchased $804 million in shares and repaid $725 million in U.S. dollar-denominated notes, maintaining strong liquidity with undrawn credit facilities. |
